If this was a story about him as an artist, I would agree with you.
If this was a story about him being convicted of a crime or even losing his house and kid to T-Boz because the judge found her story more credible than his, I might let it slide.
But it is neither of those two things. It's an accusation for which he has submitted a credible defense in the proper forum. That makes CNN's usage of this photo disgusting. Especially when I found the one I posted here of him on the first page of a Google search. It's not like it was hard to find a normal photo of him.

You're probably right. I'll just point out that finding photos on Google is not the same as obtaining rights to use such photos from the copyright holder. Internet news sites are probably pretty limited in the scope of cleared photos they can use - I'd think they'd be limited to works-for-hire created by their own company (which in the case of CNN/Time Warner is pretty broad) because they need to find photos fast and couldn't possibly approach the copyright holder for permission between when the story breaks and when it goes up on the page.
